Welcome to the Latimer Upper! This freshly refreshed bungalow still holds the appeal + character of its historic past while offering all of the modern style + amenities desired in a 5 star stay. Located along a residential street you are mere steps to both the soundside (spectacular sunsets) and the ocean when sun and sand are calling. Appreciate 2 on-site parking spaces. Location cant be beat! Flipflops are all that’s needed to access the local hotspots. Walk to iconic Trolly Stop, Tower 7, stores… This gorgeous property features a king bed, queen bed, and twin bed, ensuring a terrific nighttime's sleep for all guests.

Entirely remodeled in 2024, expect a fresh, light filled space with brand new furnishings and interior touches along with an intentionally preserved, beach bungalow vibe. This top floor, 3 bedroom bungalow still features her wide plank shiplap ceilings, original wood floors and cavernous, covered front porch…while also offering completely modernized and modernized living areas. The kitchen and bath are completely updated for everybody’s comfort and convenience. Not to be missed is the newly installed, whole home Kinetico water filtration system! No beach water here. We offer healthy, filtered dinking and bathing water along with non-toxic cleaning practices and organic, bespoke scented reed diffusers (crafted by us!) for healthy, all-natural indoor environments for all of our guests.

What we appreciate most about The Latimer is the premiere location with peek-a- boo vistas of Banks Channel Sound and an painless 2 min. walk to the Ocean. Don’t miss a single sunset from the covered front porch. Plan to relax and savor the breeze on the swing after a sun-filled beach day in the sand with your drink of choice….sip your morning coffee, basking in the early sunshine on the private side porch.

When it’s time to head out and discover the island you are in the premiere spot! Walk to all of the local favorites. Trolly Stop hotdogs are not to be missed along with a margarita and fish taco from Tower7. Circles ice cream makes a summer nighttime sweeter.

Our top Southport vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Booking your Southport vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Latimer-Charming 3-bedroom Cottage at Wrightsville Beach-Steps to Ocean has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
